MY ADDICTION
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to downwind
sailing. I have persistent, unremitting, constant,
unrelenting downwind dreams that will not go away.
To my knowledge, there is only one way to treat this addiction.
You have to purchase a cruising sailboat and sail downwind on the
ocean of your dreams.
As a physician, I have seen many destructive addictions ruin the
lives of countless victims. I have seen more lives destroyed
by alcohol than any other drug. It's a slow and painful
addiction that usually takes years to destroy a life. Now
that I am back in the USA, I have been seeing patients addicted to
methamphetamine, which requires only a year, maybe two, to destroy
a life. One dose of meth, and you are addicted, and in a
couple of years you are dead. It blows me away to see lives
ruined by drugs.
So, are their any positive addictions out there? You bet.
Once you get trade wind sailing into your blood, it will change
your life forever. Furthermore, every day of trade wind
sailing adds days, weeks, maybe even years to your life.
Its salubrious effect gets your endorphins flowing, and you
experience a natural high. It puts a smile on your face, and
you know that life is good.
If you allow this addiction to take over, your life becomes an
awesome adventure. You point the bow of your boat in a
westward direction, and before you know it, you will have sailed
in the trade winds all the way around the world.
I am not a drug dealer, but I am a dealer in dreams.
So take my advice. Try it. You'll like it.
There's no limit to how good your life can become when you sail
down wind on the ocean of your dreams.
